Elaine’s Picks for the RealTime 50/50 Challenge, August 5, 2018

Well, you can indeed at RealTime Sports, matching up against my Creativesports 2.0 mates and me, and get some bragging rights in the process.

Tune in here daily, as we pick up the Creativesports 2.0 gauntlet where you can play our daily 50/50 game($5) or come right after us — for we will rotate experts — on Fridays in the free Beat the Experts contest. Beat us and you can win $2, and that might be easier than you think!

The Yankees and Red Sox will battle it out on the field after the trade-deadline battle Expectations of high scoring for the O’s vs Rangers game will have Rangers’ batters heavily favored. I’m going to check out the O’s elite players to day – Bowie Baysox game. But I digress. Elite pitchers today are Gerrit Cole, Robbie Ray, and Aaron Nola, but bargain pitching is available.

No weather concerns today.

Shane Bieber ($3800): Shane Bieber is quite the bargain today, probably because he’s been beaten up recently; however, the rookie played well last week against the Twins. Bieber’s average of 10.6 FPPG comes with a high ceiling of 20 points, a 5-2 W/L record and 8.94 K/9.

Jose Abreu ($4300): Abreu is hitting .407 with three home runs his past seven games. The Cuban home run hitter will face the Tampa Bay Rays whose pitching is – let’s say – “creative.”
